  • my 2 cents:

    none of what you’ve written here indicates you weren’t born gay.

    “…wish i was in the woman’s shoes in porn (autogynephilia), that was my first homo sexual desire.”

    that doesn’t sound like you were “simply born straight”

    your post strongly suggests to me you have a lot to learn and accept about sexuality.

    “always had a totally masculine identity, male engagements”

    saying something like this indicates to me that you don’t understand the complexities of masculinity, femininity or sexuality.

    did you read a lot of books as a child? is that masculine or feminine? did you climb trees?

    assigning labels and expectations to your behaviors may be why you don’t view your own sexuality as “a case of normal, stable homosexuality”.

    which is what it sounds like you are discovering: a case of innate normal, stable homosexuality.



  • I was in the same boat and read a lot of different books and watched videos on how to draw, and the number one thing that helped me was the frequency with which I drew.

    techniques made a difference certainly, but the amount that I drew was the primary factor in how satisfied I became with my art.

    if I can share purely anecdotal evidence, something that seems to help me was not drawing the next line until I could see the next line in my head, and project that mental next line onto the paper that I was drawing.

    I didn’t read that or watch that anywhere, I just thought that if I could picture what I wanted to draw in my head, I could probably draw it, and until that point I wasnt clearly picturing what I wanted to draw in my head.

    oh, no, sorry, haha.

    I’ve been living abroad for a very long time.

    If you are a native English speaker, you can be saving a couple grand per month in a few weeks if you don’t have a passport yet or start tomorrow if you do have a passport.

    there are thousands of ESL jobs that will pay you an absolute minimum of $2,000 us a month working 25 hours a week in countries where the cost of living is less than $500 a month, but the quality of life is the same or better than the states.

    you can get out of all the politics shit, go live a real life, and make a bunch of money doing it while doing good in the world helping students realize their potential and provide them with greater opportunities, and being an unofficial cultural ambassador, as far as you want to bridge the cultural gap between countries.

    If you have any questions, I love talking about this stuff.
